Kyle Sandilands Just CONFIRMED Who Is Replacing Him On KIIS Breakfast And The Name Has Everyone In SHOCK
Kyle Sandilands has doubled down on his claim that a big name will replace him at KIIS FM, after first making the reveal on a make-up Kyle Sandilands Live show on Sunday.
Station owner ARN has not officially named who will take over from the shock jock, 55, and former co-host Jackie “O” Henderson, 51, who both left in March when their contracts were terminated.

“I’ve got an announcement to make, a little bit of sneaky information I have got. Dr Chris Brown… No one has a bad opinion of him,” Sandilands revealed.
“He’s going to be the new me!”
Sandilands said that Dr Chris would be the host of the new breakfast show, alongside Amy Gerard who has recently spent weeks co-hosting the show with Mike E.
Gerard is currently the KIIS Weekend presenter, but was moved into the breakfast slot when ARN started to trial guest presenters to fill the slot.

“Incorrect. We haven’t signed him. We’re not commenting on any of the speculation. We’ll let you know when we have something to share,” ARN said in a comment on Sunday.
But on Monday morning Sandilands doubled down on Kyle Sandilands Live and backed the rumours he has heard that Dr Chris would be his replacement.
The network hasn’t explicitly denied the reports, but they have confirmed that no one has been signed yet, so everyone will be waiting to see if an announcement comes.

It’s been five months since Sandilands and Henderson had their contracts terminated by ARN after their on-air fallout.
Both launched legal action against their former employer and while Sandilands settled, Henderson is set to face court in October for her lawsuit against ARN.
Sandilands went on to launch his own broadcasting platform, Kyle Sandilands Live, an online show where he can chat with listeners and deliver a show similar to the radio show he became known for in the mornings.
Kyle Sandilands Live launched on Monday August 10, but the debut show was plagued with tech issues.
The week was a turbulent one, with some shows going off without a hitch, and then on Friday the show was pulled off-air after an hour-and-a-half due to tech problems.
